From Thursday's Daily Herald.
iu response to a oall of the mayor and
council as published in these columns
yesterday and Tuesday, more than a
hundred representative oitizens as*
sembled in the city hall at 8 o’olook last
night (or the pnrpose ot conferring with
the directors of oar municipal govern
ment with respeot to the future of our
eledtrio lighting system.
The meeting was oalled to order by
Mayor Brown, and w»s organized for
business by the eleotlon of Oapt. John
A. Davis as chairman and Mr. H. M. 1
Molntosh as secretary.
Oapt. Davis, on taking tho ohair, made
a few appropriate remarks, briefly stat
ing the natnre of the bnsineBB whioh
demanded the attendance of the as
sembled citizens. He emphasized the
importance of good lights to a growing
oity, and expressed a hope that a spirit
cf fratornity would prevail during the
progress of the meeting. He asked
Mayor Brown to Btate for the Informa
tion of those present what purpose tho
olty counoil had In viow when the oiti
zens’ meeting was called, and tc give,
briefly, a general idea of the pres
ent condition of the municipal electrio
lighting Borvice, the prospeot for its
immediate futuro and the Bovsral propo
sitions that are in view for its better
ment.
The mayor then addressed the as
sembled citizons at some length, re
viewing the situation as it appeared to
the oonncil. He epoke as one thor-
onghly familiar with the condition of
the plant and tho wiring system now in
ubo in tho city, having conferred from
lime to time with expert eleotrieians
and engineers who were brought to tho
oity in order that the lighting system
might be thoroughly gone over. The
recenet wreck of the largest engine at the
plant, he said, bnd seriously erippled
the service, but by a temporary arrange
ment it was belioved that the demands
of the publio as to lights oould bo met
during the snmmor, two engines doing
the work heretofore doue by three,
With the ooming of the fall months,
however, the bnrden of the plant will
be very materially Increased, and other
arrangements will have to be made.
The report of Mr. F. H. Laxton, ex
pert electrical engineer, 'bb published in
Tuesday's Herald,’Was referred to.
The mayor stated that Mr. Laxton had
made a thorough investigation of the
system in all its details,'and had sub
mitted three propositions for the im
provement of the servioe, as followb:
1st, To improve the present plant by
the installation of some new maohinery,
at a dost of about $8,600.
2nd, To-improve the present plant
and move it to the site of ' the water
works station, consolidating the two, at
a’obst of abont $18,000.
3rd, To build an entirely mew plant
at the waterworks site at a cost of abont
$20,500, 'the two plants to be worked in
eonjunotion, and an alternating onrrent
to takd the plaoe Of direct onrrent
furnished by the present lighting sys
tem. , .
In reply to questions from Oitizens
present, Mayor Brown stated .that the
old plant, including the Btreet wir
ing, could be disposed of, in all proba,
bility, for from seven to nine thousand
dollars. The oity would have to .be
rewired fop an alternating . onrrent
system, bat very much loss wire than
isupwin use would be required, He
thought the city would have from toree
to four thousand dollars' worth of copper
wire for sale. The sum realized by the
city for its old plant, tho mayor thought,
would depend very largely on the meth
ods employed in disposing of it. In
calling for bonds, ho continued, it
would be advisable to includo $5,000 to
pay for the artesian well now being
sunk for the waterworks system.
Mr. T. M. Ticknor brought up the
subject of the undeveloped water power
on Flint river and the Kincbafoonee
and Mnekalee creeks near Albany. He
asked whether any Steps had been taken
for the purpose of ascertaining what
sum of ihondy would be required to. de
velop this power,-‘And’whether it conli

ThoNo doHirini
hooks of tho city c
the dty's waterworks and eleotrlo light
ing systems.
Thus precipitated, the water power
question waa the snbjeot of disonssion at
intervals until the meeting adjonmed.
Mr. J. 8. Davis agreed with Mr. Tlok-
nor, and thought the oity should employ
an expert hydranlto engineer to study
the water power question for ns with a
viow to ascertaining whether it oannot
with profit be developed,
The mayor and Mr. J. D. Pope ex-
pressed themselves os unalterably op
posed to having the city go into any
other enterprises. They contend
ed that tho mnniolpal government
had enongh irons in the fire already,
and that it oonld not afford to go into
the business of developing wator power.
If private individuals wonld harness
the waters of the oreeks and river, both
the mayor and Mr. Pope expressed
themselves ns in favor of having the
oitv disconnect its coal consnmlng en
gines, und operate both the waterworks
and eleotrlo plants with power pur
chased from the said enterprising pri
vate individuals.
Further discussion brought ont the
faot that a oh an go from tho diroot to | "ifoBoiuW''
the alternating systom would not nooes-
sltato the rowiringof bnildings.
Mr. Pope thought the propoetion be
fore tho oity was simply this: Whioh
of tho three plauB fortlio improvement
of the municipal eleotrlo lighting sys
tom offers greater iudnoouicuts? We
are obliged to havo lights, ha said, and
tlie qnestion to bo deoidod is simply oue
of the wisest course to bo pursued. He
therefore.offered a motion to the follow
ing effect:
Resolved, That this meeting of oiti
zens and taxpayers of the city of Al
bany recommend to the mayor and
conncil that they purohaso a new eiea-
trio lighting plant; that said plant he
erocted at tho site ot tlio waterworks
pumping station and that tiie two be
operated in coujnnotion; and that the
mayor and council, to this end, take
suoh measures as may to them seem
neoessary and advisable. Mr Pope said
the resolution embodied his own idea,
and he made it iu order to pnt tho main
qnestion nnder advisement befnro the
meeting. It had been previously brought
out that a saving of abont $4,000 per
annum oonld be effected by operating
the two plants together.
Mr. J. 8. Davie again brought up the
water power matter, and it was .dis
cussed at some length. M>. Davis was
of the opinion tttnt it conld bedevelopod
for $20,000, and that it would work a
saving to the oity of abont eight thous
and dollars a year. Mayor Brown
thought the oast would be nearer $40,-
000,' and that even then the project
mightresnltin failure. Mr. A. W. Muse
though the dlsoussion of the waterpower
question was premature. "Wouldn’t it
be a good Idea,” he Btated, “for ns to
find out, before we go to developing
water power, whether the present
owners will soil,. and whether their
price Is $2,000 or *20,000?" Mr. W. O.
Watson also opposed the springing of
the water power question.
Mr. Davis offerodus a substitute for
Mr.. Pope’s resolution that "the city
employ an expert hydraulio engineer to
Investigate oar undeveloped water
power, and give an estimate of the
probable coat of developing same, with
a view toils use by the city in operating
Its plants,” The sabstltate was lost,
and the motion-of Mr. Pope was then
unanimously adopted.
Mr. Pope asked Mayor Brown whether
high or low speed engines wonld be
nsedint.be new plant which it is pro
posed to ereot. The reply was "High
speed, evory time.” Then a new debate
on a new line began.
Quito a number of thor.e present soon
made it apparent that they favored low
speed engines, and were desirous of
recommonding that the council purchase
same in equipping tho new plant. The
mayor stated that all tho meohanical and
elcotrical experts with whom ho had con
ferred had recommended high spoed en
gines, those of the ether type being desir
able only in very largo plants, lte
marks on this lino were made by
Messrs. R. H. Warren, W. O. Watson,
J. G. Stephens, A. W. Mnso, J. D
Pope and H. M. McIntosh. Mr. Popo
made a motion, tho effect of which wsrs
to suggest to the coanoil that they In
vestigate earofnily the comparative
worth of both low and high speed en
gines before making a selection.
Mr. A. P. Coles offered as a substitute
"that the, mayor and pounci^ be re
quested to empW on expert meohanical
and electrical engineer, and that in
purchasing ttlP eqniphleiit fdr'thfr pro
posed new plaht'hlaoctanselbe heeded.!’
Mr. Coles did not think,.the- cquocUj
shonldbe instructed in tho met
engines by a body of oitizens who k
praottoally nothing abont moobine:
meohanical engineering. The meetl
seemed to share his views, for his sub
stitnte was adopted by an overwheli
majority.
That wound up the disonssion
tive to the eleotrlo light qnestion, f
the matter of raising fundB for
Jacksonville fire sufferers was
taken up. A report of this feature t
